Darkness Till Dawn Tab

by Carly Simon


Darkness Till Dawn - from Another Passenger - 1976

      
Chain smoking cigarettes

Enemies across the table
                               
Wonderin' if I can ever trust anyone again

We argue through the night
        
The restaurant shuts, you catch your flight
                                 
I hail a cab with no idea where home might be

                         
We both believed my chance was gone
                         
But ain't it strange how life goes on
                     
A storm can never rage forever
                           
And darkness only lasts 'til dawn


Hotel blinds stay drawn

Nothing seems to make me care
                           
I can't find a reason to comb my hair

Folks walkin' in the street
                 
Everyone has something to do
                                       
My brain won't stop showin' those old movies of you

                         
We both believed my chance was gone
                         
But ain't it strange how life goes on
                     
A storm can never rage forever
                           
And darkness only lasts 'til dawn


Weeks pass
           
And your voice sounds strange on the telephone
                                    
Strange how smooth and casual my own voice sounds

I find that I'm listening to
    
A tune coming over my radio
                                   
It makes me think of a guy I knew a while ago
                 
A while ago, a while ago,a while ago
 
                
A storm can never rage forever
                           
And darkness only lasts 'til dawn
          
Oh, oh,oh,oh,oh........
